Wonderful 1800 Half Dime, V-1, LM-1, AU55

1800 H10C AU55 NGC. V-1, LM-1, R.3. LM-1 is identified by an equally spaced date and a leaf joined to the second A in AMERICA. A die break in the denticles below the 00 in the date confirms that this is a later die state of this variety. All the details are sharp save for a little weakness on the right wing junction and the vertical lines of the shield. The surfaces are medium tan-gray, and show only a trace of friction across Liberty's face. An attractive, unmarked example.
